No man is allowed to be a judge in
his own cause, because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not
improbably, corrupt his integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body
of men are unfit to be both judges and parties at the same time; yet what are
many of the most important acts of legislation, but so many judicial
determinations, not indeed concerning the rights of single persons, but
concerning the rights of large bodies of citizens? This reading is from the
federalist 10 reading. http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa10.htm
This paragraph
is about a single person or a body of people, who have the power to make laws
or making decisions or electoral decisions for the people. The writer states that it is not fair for
someone or a body of people to have the right to make decision which may affect
us all. In relation to the reading this is how our government is run by
congress. A body of people who vote on
laws or new policies that affect all of the American people.
Also this
paragraph from today’s reading Another
Stab at the Constitution helps explain my point of how we are controlled by
the government and really have very little input on the decision they
make. “The fifth piece by Alexander
Keyssar argues to abolish the Electoral College. We know the President is not
elected through a direct popular vote, but is chosen by electors equal to each
states representation in Congress, meaning that elections are decided on a
state by state basis. This is one of the more well-known and controversial
aspects of the Constitution today.” The US Constitution was created for all of
the American people but I don’t believe that we played a part in the creation
of the constitution. However we have to
abide by the US Constitution are be punished for breaking the law. In fact there have been a lot of new laws
created over the past few years and we the people had very little influence on
the decision that was made.
In
conclusion I do not think we will ever have a voice or a dictation in the
creation of laws in this country. Nor
will we ever have a voice in the changing of laws in this country. Therefore I argue the points are we really
free and if not will we be free one day.
From this unfair government that only care about the well-being of the
rich and wealthy, not us the people who are really the ones in power!
